The Dinner Detective True Crime Murder Mystery Dinner Show Reviews 

We booked a private dinner for our department. The onsite actors were great and humorous. The team enjoyed the experience. If you have budget, I would recommend enhancing the menu because the food was so, so.

This company did well at incorporating people into the story. Mixing story telling and jokes to keep the audience guessing. I would reccomend for any gathering, function, or party.

Amazing experience and food. Highly recommeneded.

This was so much fun! Delicious food! Top night!

Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this experience.

The cast clearly tried, but the execution felt under-rehearsed. The script didn’t flow naturally and often came across as forced—especially the dynamic between the two law enforcement characters, which never quite clicked.

That said, New Year’s Steve stood out and earned points for her character commitment.

I understand the show is meant to be over-the-top and campy, but even within that lane it fell short. I’ve seen high school productions with stronger character commitment and tighter pacing.

Food didn’t help the evening. All four of us ordered the chicken with carrots and potatoes; it arrived cold, and the chicken was dry.

Bottom line: despite some effort from the cast, the overall experience missed the mark. I wouldn’t recommend this to a friend.

So fun what a great way to celebrate the holidays with our team!

We had our work Christmas Party here. The actors where fun & interactive, and everyone had a great time!

I felt that the writing was fun and engaging, the food was great and the actors played their parts well! The comedy from all participants was top tier!

The show was much too long - needs to be reduced at by least 30 minutes. We just lost interest. The menu displayed on the website indicates (3) types of meals but when we arrived we discovered there’s a chicken, fish, vegan & vegetarian option: four different things, not (3) like the website stated. Needless to say, my husband’s meal was completely messed up. They ended up giving him a hot steak but all other food was terribly cold for the rest of us. Green beans were canned. Small portions, so my 25 yo son was still very hungry. Not a good value for the money as far as I was concerned.

The entire show was stupid. It was screeching loud. It was insulting and rude. It was not as advertised and was in fact exactly what the website promised it would not be. I wasted good money on this garbage. The age range for this event should be 8 - 15 years old.
I doubt you will post my opinions.

I just saw their show at the Mohegan Manor. We had a good crowd and the participation was great! The actors were funny and the improv was funny! The buffet food was nice and I appreciate the hard working staff. They did a great job! I was pleasantly surprised that there was a $100 prize for the person who solved the murder(s) and provided the most detailed information. I'd recommend this for a fun time.

The show was funny when the act was going. The show was supposed to start at 6pm but didn't start till 6;40pm.There was a lot of down time in between acts. I believe this is when we people were supposed to talk to each other but when you come as a large party it is hard to meangle with other tables. It seemed like this was not very clear until after the last act. The chicken was over cooked and the sides were like warm. The only beverage offered was unsweetened tea and water. The decorations were from the dollar store. The Christmas trees had lights but were not lit. There were some random Christmas boxes as decorations where the food was being served. For me personally I don't believe this show was worth $60.

I was invited to this not knowing what to expect but i had a lot of fun! The actors were so talented and engaging and my family laughed the whole time. The food was absolutely delicious too. We are already talking about going to another show.

Great entertainment!!

Over all this was a fun night, and good laughs.
